The "stay home if you feel bad" hasn't hurt us as we can work remotely making calls, doing bid and spec work, email, zoom - but it has hammered some manufacturers I work with.
At the start, they told their employees they should stay home if they feel bad and that it won't impact their pay or PTO (at the time it seemed wise to keep sick people from choosing to work (infect others) to keep their income).
No good deed goes unpunished and immediately a large chunk of their line workers started feeling bad right away and stayed home. Many went and got hired on other jobs like walmart stocking, lawn care, and construction to double dip on pay. The employer knows it is a problem and is being abused, but can't put the genie back in the bottle and it has slowed their production to a crawl. They have these rolling waves of people staying home for a week or two, finally getting tested, coming back - rinse and repeat.
Lead times have tripled and quality has suffered.
I don't have any solutions and every business is different. All we are trying to do is the next right thing based on the information we have at the time and remembering that we don't want to put profits ahead of people.
